Get the look1. Keep the back and sides tight and short (0.5 grade - 1.5mm). Taper this up to the top section using 0.5 increments.2. Clipper the top section at a grade two, so that there's a slight contrast between the top, back and sides.3. Identify where your crown is and shave towards it from the periphery of the head. Do this on dry hair. 4. Get a friend to help you with the back of the neck.

Take noteChoose quality electrical clippers so the blades don't fall out half way through buzzing.

The eight best grooming products in the world this week

The grooming items you need to own this week.

Deep sweep comb-over

Get the look1. Avoid frizz by using leave-in conditioner or hair cream. 2. Use a comb first to create a clean side parting, then run your fingers through to break up the hair so it doesn't look too "done". 3. After parting, scrunch Murdock Sea Salt Styling Spray or a matt flexible texturiser through.

Take noteFor curly hair, do the same but don't use a comb, just wide-open fingers - the less you handle curls, the less frizz. Use a product such as Hair Doh that will set firm. Allow the paste to dry, then pull fingers through to relax the style.

Get the look1. Use a lightweight water-based gel that gives soft definition. 2. Apply the gel to clean, towel-dried hair and then distribute evenly. 3. To activate the curl, scrunch hair with your hands before it's drying. To accentuate the result, use a diffuser which you can attach to a hairdryer.

Take noteFor a more natural wave, scrunch hair and allow it to dry. For a grungier look, use sea salt spray to create a messier natural curl. Spray in hair and leave for 5-10 minutes, then go back and scrunch.

Slicked-back hair

Scott Ade, hair stylist, Hershesons

Magda Antoniuk

Get the look1. Dampen hair and, starting from the crown, take a small vertical section of the hair and apply either a gel or a pomade. 2. Comb the hair back on itself from the root, pulling it towards the base of the head. Repeat this, moving slowly forward towards the front hairline. You should ultimately be layering the product to create both height and a strong, structured look.3.For those blessed with good hair, you can create a more natural movement that doesn't look too contrived. Dampen the hair and use a conditioning product mixed in with a small amount of hair oil. The mixture of the two products will create a wet look but keep hair soft and malleable.

Take noteIf you are working with rebellious hair or wanting to create a more structured look, time and effort are needed.
